I am excited that my project is finally finished, I enjoyed the experience from start to finish – creating my storyboard, starting the script, recording the voice over, filming and then putting it all together to create something that I am extremely proud of. If there was one thing I might do differently in my…

Creating my digital story 10/05/23
I created my voice over a couple of weeks ago which I really enjoyed doing. Working with specialised equipment like the Zoom H2n-04 Microphone is exciting as it is usually not accessible to me. Having just recorded another assignment’s audio on my phone, the difference in sound quality was immeasurable, effectively improving my digital story’s…

Learning how to edit 26/04/23
The past two weeks, Sharon has been teaching us how to edit using Adobe Premier Pro. One of the methods that really stuck out to me was using google maps to show a journey. This really resonated with me and my story as I want to talk about how my Grandad had to flee form…

Today, after the Easter holidays, I had a tutorial with Sharon that really helped me get back on track for what I want to achieve with my digital story. I talked to Sharon about how I really want to do the story on my grandad but worry about not doing his story the justice it…

Back to the drawing board 31/03/22
After a week of learning about different storytelling devices and going more thoroughly through the marking scheme, it was time to hand in a draft of my script.

Constructing Our Physical Exhibition 15/03/23
Coming into JOMEC, knowing we were going to turn our cloud exhibition from just thoughts and ideas to a physical reality, I felt extremely apprehensive: What if we failed? What if our idea was too ambitious? I felt slightly anxious, walking into the building with my cardboard and cotton wool. Then I bumped into others…

Storytelling session 2 & Exhibition Discourse 10/03/23
This session, we read out our prepared 100-word stories centred around the theme of ‘Pressure’. I read out my story ‘Lost to Oblivion?’, feeling surprisingly more nervous than I had reading out my previous story a few weeks ago. I think this is because I found writing about a specific moment easier, having concrete things…

‘Lost to Oblivion?’
Human brains are funny things. I’ve faced a lot of pressure in my life but truly the worst pressure I’ve ever felt is oblivion. The future, the unknown, the fear of failure, it feels like a giant dumbbell is sinking into my chest, pinning me to the floor and consuming me. Every time I feel…

Discussion and Drawing Exercises 03/03/23
Trying to think of the theme ‘Hopes and Dreams’ within a letter format of ”Letter to your future self’ was extremely challenging, more than first thought. When getting to the session, we discussed these challenges as a group, deciding to go back to the drawing board as most people in the group were struggling to…
